DNS321 with upgrad to ALT-F1 not working

[Nasir Naser]

I upgraded my DNS 321 Rev A with Alt-F-1.0-DNS-321-rev-Ax.bin

Upgarde went fine, after reboot ,

the box does not get an IP from the DHCP, the button works to shout down and start.

How do I connect to the DNS-321 , is there a default ip with ALT-F

What have I done wrong, and how do I fix it , please guide. 

Thanks

You have done nothing wrong, the box and Alt-F seems to be working.

Please search the forum, there are several topics covering that. A recent one is https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt-f/PRV1XR4qGnk/Qx7mkI1FDAAJ

Read also the "about leds and buttons" wiki.

Thanks Jao Cardoso.

I did the direct cable to my lap top.
Configured my latop with static ip 192.168.1.100  subnet 255.255.255.0
Attached  network cable directly to the DNS-321 and my laptop

Did a ping  192.168.1.254 -t
no response.
then I took a paper clip  and pushed the reset button  at the back just once and released quickly
Wallah

the box came to life  and the ping started getting replies.

now I went to the web interface.
Observed the following
the default IP is static

The network interface speed is 1000

I changed the static to dhcp and plugged in my 100 switch. does not work.
plugged in to my 1000 gigabit switch , and it works.
I am using 100baseT switch due to the POE need.
Some how the DNS321 does not work on with the 100baseT switch.

Now I see the ALT-F working in gigabit environment, I will try to find how to connect it to my 100base switch.

There is lot of stuff and my unix /linux is 20+ stale.
